  Speaker 1: Mark the moons on w O RY.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: So let's forget to this hour. We'll get to Mom, Donnie,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to Mikey, Cheryl, we'll get to Milania
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and a whole lot more. Everybody agrees. It was quite
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a quite a powerful speech the President made at Davos,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and the big takeaway was he will not use force
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to acquire Greenland. So but everybody, normal people agree. Powerful speech,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: really explained himself to the world leaders. Now forget the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: forget all these smart people. Let's go to the left
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: wing kooks. What are they going to say? If you're
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: watching ms whatever the hell it's called. Now, what will
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: they say? Well, we let's start with Mediaite. That is
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a it's a good site, but it's a real slanted,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: biased left wing propaganda site. But it's important because a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: lot of the whole democratic world, all the MSNB whatever
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: is the liberal outlets media. They all watch this Mediaite
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to get their talking points. So they're trying to find
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: something wrong with the President's speech. And the media eyed
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: headline is Trump very awkward, blunder, horrible gaff at Davos. Wow,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: what could this be? Well, a lot of the speech
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: was about Greenland, and apparently a couple of times he
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: slipped and said Iceland instead of Greenland. Now again it's media.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Heite left wings slanted. I don't think anybody would say, wow,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: my god, that's the worst blunder in the history of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the world. One of the reasons probably got confused. If
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you watch the speech, he was over and over again
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: talking about a Greenland is basically just a thick sheet
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of ice, and he said it's not really an island,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it's a slab of ice. And you know, a lot
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of people pointed out when they talk about all the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: minerals that are in Greenland, it's really tough to ever
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: even think of getting the mat. You got to cut
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: through like one hundred feet of ice to get to them.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But he kept saying that, you know, it's just it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: very important for US militarily, strategically military base, but otherwise
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: there's really not much you can do with this island.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It's just again, he kept saying, it's just a slab
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of ice. It's nothing but just a hunk of ice,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: which is why I probably later slipped and called it Iceland.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it's very funny if you've ever been there,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Iceland is mostly grass and nice Greenland is mostly ice
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and no grass. So somebody named the men correctly. Way
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: back when Ushi Vance that's the wife of Vice President JD.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Vance Is, announced she's pregnant with their fourth child. Now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of people kind of stunned by that. Wow,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you know, while you're in office, vice president, you're having
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a child. And I was trying to think back, have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we ever had anybody in the White House have a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: child while in the White Yeah? John F. Kennedy JFK.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Jackie had a third child who died after a few days,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: didn't live, but was born. And I think the name
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: was Patrick. Patrick would have been Patrick Kennedy. But JFK
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and Jackie they did have a child born while he
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was in the White House. And I think there were
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I can't remember who, but you got to go back
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a zillion years, there were vice presidents that had children
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: while in office. You know Caroline Levitt, the Press secretary,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: who was doing a great job, phenomenal Press secretary. She's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: also now she's pregnant, which means sometime later this year
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: she'll give birth, and that means she'll have to take
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a maternity leave of some kind, so they'll have to find.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are deputy press secretaries backups, but they'll
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have to find a really good backup who may have
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to take over for a month or two for Caroline Levitt. Hey,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, you never hear you hear criticism all the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: time of every cabinet secretary. They pick on Rubio, fake News,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: goes after Scott Bessant. They love going after Hexath all
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the time, you know, and even the Democrats they keep
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: yelling and screaming. Hexath is the most unqualified, most incompetent
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: defense secretary you've ever had. Meantime, in one year, this
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: guy has run the most incredibly complex, sophisticated military operations ever,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: every one of them one thousand percent successful. I mean,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: if you think about it, he probably is now the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: most successful defense secretary in modern times. If you look
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: at the Iraq War under Rumsfeld, maybe it worked, but
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it was kind of bungled up. But if you look
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: at Hexaf, you can't find another defense secretary with a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: track record like Hexath. From the bombing of the Iran
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: nuclear reactors to the capture of Maduro and a million
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: other operations, this guy has run the most successful military
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: operations in modern times, so give him a lot of credit.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You know who never gets criticized is Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Now why is that? Well, if you actually look into this,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: very quietly, in the last six months, Sean Duffy has
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: done an amazing job beginning to turn around our transportation system.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: You remember when the Trump team came in, there were
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all these airport disasters, you know, the crash in Washington,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: d C. And remember they had to shut down the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Newark Airport and the towers weren't able to function, they
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: didn't have enough control. Well, Duffy, behind the scenes has
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: been quietly patching all this up. The air travel system
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: has gotten much better, the ports are much more efficient. Duffy,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: very quietly, he's been fixing everything, even the trucking system.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we have all these big rig trucks all
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: over the place, and it turns out many of them
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: were being driven by illegals who weren't qualified. But in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: crazy left wing blue states, they could still get a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: trucking license, a commercial driver's license. So about forty five
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: percent of them have already been taken away by Duffy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So he's made great improved That's one reason you can't
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: criticize him. The other reason is you'll never hear democrats
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in Congress, like left wing democrats go after the Transportation
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: secretary because he runs the airports, he runs the trains,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he runs all that stuff. And people in Congress all
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: they do is travel back and forth to their home state.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So every weekend they're in the airport, they're on a train,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they're in Reagan Airport, they're in this airport. They're always traveling.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And Duffy is very smart, went to everybody in Congress,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: gave everybody his cell number. Here. You ever have a problem,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you call me on myself anytime, twenty four hours a day,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: call me anytime you need anything. So they're very careful
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: not to pick on Duffy. They want to have a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: good relationship with them. Hey, Milania Trump, there's a big
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: documentary on Milania Trump that's going to be released in
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks or a week or so, big, big,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: big blockbuster documentary. The guy that produced it is Brett Ratner.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Now this was Brett Ratner was a very big deal
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood, a big producer with his own big production
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: company called Ratpack Entertainment. But Brett Ratner was one of
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: those guys that got me too. And there was some
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: horrible scandal with women and terrible sexual harau, all kinds
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of stuff. So Brett Ratner got run out of Hollywood.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: That was the end of him. And I know him
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a little and as far as I know, he was
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: always sort of a left wing, typical democrat Hollywood. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: he's the guy behind this Milania documentary which seems to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: have the full cooperation of Milania the Trumps. It will
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: make its debut at the Trump Kennedy Center and then
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it'll apparently Amazon has got a deal with It's made
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: by Amazon MGM Studios and they're going to be involved
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: with it. So at forty million dollar budget, it's gonna
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: be a big deal. Now it's going to be put
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in theaters. It'll be streaming on Amazon, but it'll go
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to theaters first. And all the left wing sites are
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: bragging and bragging and bragging about how the theaters haven't sold
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: enough tickets. There's going to be empty seats. They're already
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: calling it a big bomb. It doesn't actually mean anything.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It's that the theaters aren't important. It's what it does
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: streaming wise. Now it may bomb in the theaters. A
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: lot of people don't want to go to a theater
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to see a documentary, but once it hits Amazon and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it's streaming, the numbers could be huge. So and from
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: what I hear, it's pretty good, So keep an eye
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: out for that. So, Mom Donnie goes on the View yesterday,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and a perfect setting for him. It's just perfect for him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You got these four yo yos that hosts. How many
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: are in the views at four or five? I think
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it's five plus, Mom Donnie, but they're all, you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: cackling hens. None of them are very bright. It's perfect,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you know. And Mom Donnie can talk a mile a minute.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: When you talk that fast, you can now talk a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: bunch of babbling idiots. But he's given all these long
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: winded answers and a lot of word salads. And now
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: this is him on how he's going to tax businesses
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to death. The left wing audience, of course, cheering this on.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And what I've proposed is that we raise ten billion
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: dollars to pay for our entire economic agenda and start
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to trump proof our city because we know he'll use
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: federal funding as leverage over this city, and we will
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: do so in two key ways. The first is to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. We are at seven point two five percent,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they're at eleven point five percent. Corporations can pay it
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: over there, they can pay it over here. And the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: beauty of it is that it doesn't just apply to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: corporations headquartered in New York City, because when you say this,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: people will say, well, they're going to go to Florida.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Wherever you are headquartered. As long as you do business
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in the state of New York, you are taxable for
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that corporate tax.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, now, fear one of these left wing view idiots,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you're cheering, eh, tax those businesses. It never occurs to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: them that what this is is a tariff. If Trump
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: put tariffs on they'd be screaming and yelling this is wrong.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: This is a tariff. In fact, it's a bigger tariff
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: because when you put a import tariff on a company,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: most of the time the company doesn't have to pay it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The importer pays it, the middleman pays it, the expediors
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: pay it. So the company here maybe they got to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: pay a little bit, not much. But when you put
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a tax on the business, they pay it all one
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: hundred percent. There's nobody else to pass it along to.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So it's a tariff. When you say increased corporate taxes
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: two percent, well that means every corporation has to raise
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the price of the products two percent to cover the tax.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It's a tariff that causes a price increase immediately. But
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: don't tell these people. They don't know this. They can't
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: figure this out. So if he said Donald Trump wants
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to tariff businesses, they'll start yelling and screaming, this is wrong,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this is outrageous. If the socialists, we're going to tax
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: those big corporations, they start cheering. They're thrilled. It's the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: same exact thing. But they if it's a you call
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it a tax, they love it. If you call it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a tariff, they hate it. Here's more, mom, Donnie.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Thing that we do have in common is that we
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: both love New York City.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Oh he's talking about it now. They're asking him, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: know him and Trump? What's this relationship with him and Trump?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: One thing that we do have in common is that
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: we both love New York City.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: We're both New Yorker.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so for that entire meeting, I made the
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: case about this city and what it can look like
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: for this city if it's a place that New Yorkers
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: can afford, or if it's a place that they're pushed
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: out of. And every single policy that the federal administration
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: puts forward, it has impacts on the city.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's quite a meeting, you know this, Mom,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Donnie is babbling away a mile a minute. Trump is
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: pretending he's interested in this. The meantime, Trump is like
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: veteran CEO running a global empire, twice president of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: United States, biggest figure in the world. Here's this little
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: thirty two year old giving him a philosophy on business
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and stuff. But Trump's very good at that. Pretends he's listening.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: He knows whint to nod and everything. Mom, Donnie. On housing.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Now, the housing crisis, the number one crisis in the city.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: We have eight and a half million people, more than
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: two million. They live in something called rent stabilized housing.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: The city decides if the rent's going up or if
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it's staying the same. Right, for the last four years,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: all they've seen is their rent has gone up and
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: up and up more than twelve percent. And I told
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: those New Yorkers. I believe they deserve a rent freeze.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: They deserve to have the peace of mind to wake
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: up one day and know you can do that. That's
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: what the Rent Guidelines Board can do. And we appoint
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: every member to that board.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Again, he talks very fast, and he sounds like he
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. Meantime, the truth, this guy has
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: no clue what to do about housing, hasn't got a clue,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: knows nothing about housing. This guy never even owned a house,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: he's never even had a house, but knows nothing about it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And every solution he's proposed would do nothing except increase
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the price of housing. Now, that's one thing about socialists.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: One thing about socialist you can check the record. Whenever
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: they get into power and do their stuff, it kills
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the lower class, in middle class, it drives their costs up,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: It creates shortages. That's one thing you get when you
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: get socialists. Hey, by the way, the nurses strike, you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you got to get out there. If you're the mayor,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you gotta go out there, and you gotta bring the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: sides together. You gotta bring the hospitals together, the nurses together.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: You gotta ge everybody in the room and negotiate again.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: He's a junior guy with no experience, no resume, never managed,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So Mom, Donnie doesn't know that he's out there picketing
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: with the nurses, so he can no longer be the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: broker to settle this. And then he brings in Bernie Sanders. Yesterday,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders to picket, who has no idea what the
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: issue is, no idea what they're striking over, no idea
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: what the hospital's point of view is. All he knows
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: is this a strike. They got picket signs, and Bernie
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: comes in to picket, and there he is fighting for
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the nurses.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Let me let me just say, from the bottom of
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: my heart, it is an honor and a privilege to
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: stand with the nurses of New York City just wanted.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: There you go. Let me translate what he's really saying.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I am here to fight for you. I'll be leaving
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: in an hour. You'll never see me again. I only
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: came because I heard there was TV cameras here. I'm
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: going to make a speech, then I'm gonna fly home
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and forget about you. That's basically what it is. But
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: he pretends he knows the issues.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Don't tell me, you can't provide a good nurse staff
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: ratio where you're paying your CEO at New York Presbyterian
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: twenty six million a year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: There you go, it sounds good, but that's what CEOs
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: get paid. It's like standard pay for a ceo. Why
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: because they're entrusted with like a multi billion dollar business.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: You know, like everybody can't believe Jamie Diamond, the head
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: of a JP Morgan Chase, he made seven hundred million
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: last year. Well most years it's thirty forty million. But
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: he had stock options and his stock went up in
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: value like seven hundred million. Now why is that Well,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: because the way he ran the company. JP Morgan Chase
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: was the biggest stock of twenty twenty five, and he
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: drove the stock price up like forty percent. So if
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you can go to a corporation and drive the stock
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: price up forty percent, that means JP morgan Chase probably
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: made maybe thirty five billion off that move. So if
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they made thirty five billion the company, they'll give you
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: seven hundred million. So if you can raise a stock
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: price forty percent, you'll make a lot of money. It's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a good talent Minnesota. They're going to start arresting people
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: at President Trump yesterday, what about Don Lemon.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: All I just wants to do is get them out
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: of our country, bring them to the prisons, in jails
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: and mental institutions from where they came. That's all they
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: want to do, the patriots, and they have to be
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: abused by guys like Don Lemon, who's a loser, light weight.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I saw him, the way he walked in that church.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It was terrible. I have such respect for that pastor.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: He was so calm, he was so nice. He was
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: just accosted.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: What they did in that church was horrible.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what Don Lemon did, what the protests he did
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: totally crime. If you read the law, because some left
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: wing got they'll argue, well, if the church is open,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: anybody's allowed to enter. Yeah, But in the law it
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: specifically says if you do anything to intimidate or interrupt
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the worshippers or the pastor, you've committed a serious crime.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Anything to intimidate or interrupt. And they certainly didn't. They
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: certainly did interrupt. They stopped the whole thing. Lemon got
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: right in the pastor's face and tried to intimidate him.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So Lemon has committed a crime could go to jail
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: for this. You'll see the arrests coming very soon. Hey, well,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Is the number, eight hundred three
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten, mister.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: New York Mark Simo on the Voice of New York
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: seven ten.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Wo law, Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: uh Chris in Montreal. Chris, how you doing?
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: I'm okay? Thanks, Mark, how you doing? Listen? You'll have
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: you have a quality yesterday. Who wasn't thrilled with Curtis
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: taking over for you? That's a compliment to you because
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: we listened because of your format and stuff, and Curtis
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: was kind of just like bemoaning all this.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Curtis was very read. He was fine, but he picked
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: on Trump at one point, so a lot of people
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: didn't like that. You're you're allowed to pick on Trump now?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: I like Curtis. I didn't vote for him the second time,
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: but I donated to him twice. But I like him.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: But when somebody takes over for you, they should continue
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: your format, because that's why we listen if we wanted
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: to know.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: But Curtis was fine, he's not for greenland stuff. So
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you're allowed to disagree with Trump on an issue again
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the ed Cotch rule. Ed Kotch used to say, if
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you agree with me on nine out of twelve things,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: vote for me. If you agree on twelve out of twelve,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: see a psychiatrist. It's listen. Do you know which guest?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of guests on. You know which one?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: We get a lot of male saying the worst guest.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Don't ever have him on again. Every guest, every single guest.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: It's perfectly normal. You're always gonna get some people that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: don't like whoever it is. Let's go to Jerry in Greenwich. Jerry,

• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Let must say that.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: You give a look, let me finish this anyway. It's
• 18:48

• 19:03
  Speaker 9: you doing good art? Thanks for taking my call. You know,
• 19:07

  Speaker 9: and New Jersey is right there. As far as businesses

• 19:31
  Speaker 2: it's horrible. I don't know what's wrong with you people.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You keep prementing these governments. This Mikey Cheryl took office yesterday.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: That there are people here, some of them behind me,
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: probably who didn't vote for me.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: And I know now if I didn't tell you who
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: this was, and this woman talk like this, what do
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: you think there's some kind of dopey teenager or something.
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: Some of you are going to be in my office
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: yelling at me one day about some disagreements. And yet
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: as we sit here today, I'm ready to fight to
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: ensure that you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Can do it like this.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: And the hell did you people?
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Do?
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: You elected her governor? She's gonna drive your costs up.
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: I hope New Jersey you'll remember me when you open
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: up your electric bill and it hasn't gone up by
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: twenty percent.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It's gonna go by thirty percent. These they don't realize.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: These they have no clue how to run anything. They
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: drive up electric costs they try. You want to bring
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: down the electric bills, natural gas, nuclear plants, electric bill
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: drops in half immediately. That's one reason it's up so
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: high here in New York. As Cuomo shut down the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Indian Point nuclear plant driving electric that was twenty five
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: percent of our electricity, driving costs up. Hey, when we
• 20:41

  Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: President, quite a speech in Davos. I thought it was
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive, didn't you.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: H Was that the one yesterday?
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: No?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Today?
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I haven't seen today's. I saw yesterday. I imagine
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: there was a lot of repetition. Yesterday was fantastic.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: That was the ninety four minute press conference where he
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: was great.
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: Yes, it was unbelievably great. I was in my car,
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: so I got to listen to almost all of it,
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: and right before I left to get in my car,
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: I have a channel where you can see six stations
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: at once. MSNBC, as far as I could tell, didn't
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: cover it at all. Yeah, they were talking all the
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: way through it. CNN began to cover it, and then
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: when he got into some of the good stuff, like
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: his description of Somali as not even a country. People
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: killing one another. They're running around killing one another. The
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: attack on ilhan Omar in suggestion that some allis just
• 22:09
  Speaker 11: go home. They don't fit in here. That's when CNN
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: cut away. And the only place you could hear it,
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: at least on my serious radio was Fox News, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: it was magnificent.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: What do you say about Somalia, he said, all they're
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: good at his pirate ships. It was pretty good.
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's all they do, run around killing one another. Yeah,
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: they don't even have a government police.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. We've been playing this clip
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: for a couple of days. It's Barack Obama. During his presidency,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: he sent ice into the cities. He made these speeches
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: about they were going to round up illegals, especially criminals.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: He put a guy named Tom Holman in charge. He
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: later gave him a medal for doing such a great job.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: What changed.
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: They noticed? The illegals are voting for them, vote sometimes
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: before they're allowed to vote. As as you know, I
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: personally believe Democrats never believed this. They have no interest
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: in the working class. They do want to turn America
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: into a third world country. Why that is I can't explain,
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: but yeah, they're all on record. That's the same Senator
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: Harry Reid. He was Majority leader for a long time.
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: He was one of the first ones to take to
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: the Senate floor and give a long speech denouncing the
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: absurdity of anchor babies. Die Fi and Barbara Boxer was
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: were fantastic on immigration because they're in California, and California
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: was the first state destroyed by immigration. You might remember this,
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: your younger listeners will not, but right around the time
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: of the Rodney King case. I guess it was soon
• 24:06
  Speaker 11: after that, some border agents actually did wallop an illegal alien,
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: and Democrats were trying to turn that into at the border.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: It wasn't one of those fake things where liberals were
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: claiming whips were used. It was just border Asians on horses, okay,
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: but something similar to that. Some border agents whacked some illegals,
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: and media trying to turn that into the illegal alien
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: Rodney and the King, Boxer and Diei Fied both went
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: to the Senate floor to defend the border agents. That's
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: how strong Democrats used to be on illegal immigration. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: there's plenty of plenty of video of them out there,
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: and perhaps they could explain, well, okay.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: So they switched because they need the votes. It's a
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: way of getting votes for dem.
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: That just became the official position of the Democrat Party.
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: I mean, the weird thing. One another weird example was
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: that I'm sure I've mentioned you've mentioned million times when
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: Bernie Sanders was running for president in twenty sixteen, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: probably one but for the DNC's machinations.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: He was giving an interview with Ezra Kline, who just assumed,
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: you know, socialist. Of course, he's for open borders. So
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: he brings up illegal immigration, and Bernie Sanders went rant
• 25:28
  Speaker 11: against it, saying, no, of course, I'm against the illegal immigration.
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: That's a cop in low wage workers, so you can
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: drive your own workers wages down, which is one hundred
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: percent true, one hundred percent consistent with a socialist, pro
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: worker view or my opinion, pro American view. Kline was
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: was flabbergasted. And then in order that was when Bernie Sanders,
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you had officially switched yet, but
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: when he ran for president, he had to switch from
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: being an independent to being a Democrat. So after that interview,
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: you know, he checks in with the party. He's just
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: become a member of the Democrats, goes to the mother
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: ship and finds out no, No, our position is we
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: are four, we are for illegal immigrants, we are four
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: open borders. And I'm pretty sure he was one of
• 26:18
  Speaker 11: the ones to raise his hands. Did they do the
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: raise hands thing in twenty sixteen? Man, I hate those questions.
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: But about whether illegal should get should get free health care?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that's why the politicians flip flop. But the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: sheep that follow the Democrats did. Why didn't the sheep say,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, you just told us the opposite. How
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: come they don't say anything?
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: Well, some have in many ways, as you know, the
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: parties are in some ways switching demographics. I prefer our
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: new demographic. We're losing to some extent, not all of them. Obviously,
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: some suburban women are wonderful, particularly the moms. But we're
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: losing by and large suburban women, but picking up a
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: much larger cohort of working class America. Yeah, who did. Frankly,
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: they held on a little too long to the Democratic Party.
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: It was clear to me as a as a teenager
• 27:21
  Speaker 11: that this pro worker rhetoric of the Democrats was utter
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: a complete bs I knew some some top officials at
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: some unions, and they said the same thing to me that,
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: you know, they get steel workers union guys to vote
• 27:39
  Speaker 11: for Democrats for you know, abortion rights and equal pay stuff.
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: And the Democrats would always say to the unions, yeah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 11: we'll get you next time. We'll get you guys. We'll
• 27:50
  Speaker 11: do something for you guys next time, but never quite
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: got around to doing anything for the working class.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: So hey, all this video coming out of Minnesota, all
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: these crazy nose rings women and all what. By the
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: time of the midterms, it's kind of hurt the Democrats.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Isn't it going to turn people off?
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: I do not think this is good for Democrats. The
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: the women like you say, there, oh my gosh, there's
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: it's such a type, those Minnesota ladies and middle aged,
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: short gray hair, a little rotand not particularly full of
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: joy and grasping at life. And as I've said to
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: you before that it's just it's unbelievable that these are
• 28:40
  Speaker 11: the descendants of the Vikings, these people. So okay, that
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: visual very bad for Democrats. The illegal immigrants, the visual
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: very bad for Democrats, which is I noticed the first
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: time we were having big illegal immigrants probably during it,
• 28:59
  Speaker 11: I was the Trump twenty sixteen. MSNBC would try to
• 29:04
  Speaker 11: put on some you know, poor illegals to argue their case,
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: but they were just so hideously unattractive. MSNBC quickly figured out, no,
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: let's let's get somebody else to do the speaking for them.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: And I noticed this on Twitter. Every time you see
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: one of these illegal aliens, either you know, stamping stamping
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: her foot, demanding amnesty right away, or being arrested by Ice,
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: doesn't anyone else think do we want our country to
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: be ugly? Do we want that to be the the
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: the image of the American? What what we look like?
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: We're short and fat and physically repulsive. No, you don't
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: see a lot of illegal aliens. You don't see a
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: lot of these Minnesota ladies in Democrats version of themselves. No,
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: they want to be more like Hollywood where the Democrats
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: look like everybody on West Wing.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Stuff you can check out follow on Twitter. Very good
• 30:03

• 30:59
  Speaker 2: You don't forgot to big story the awful, evil Gail King,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: who does a disastrous morning show on CBS. It's always
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in third place. She's been getting thirteen million a year.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: They've made it clear at CBS you're no longer going
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: to get that, you're no longer viable. They want to
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: not only cut that the way down, they want to
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: remove her from the show. Make us some sort of
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: occasional correspondent or something. You remember last time around when
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: she had a contract negotiation. CBS was in the middle
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: of that horrible sex scandal. She was threatening to write
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: a book. She's the most awful, evil person, and they
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: got terrified of her and they gave her a huge contract.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Well way past that now, so she's going to take
